BOHEMIAN BLISS
surf + yoga retreat
the retreat
Your retreat begins with your transfer from Colombo, winding your way down the Sri Lankan coastline to arrive at your destination, where you will be given some time to settle into your accommodation. We will meet and greet each other over a welcome dinner on the first night of your retreat.
We will begin each day with a beautiful vinyasa or hatha yoga session, after which you will take part in surfing lessons - beginner or intermediate. Afternoons are for you, where you can either relax, journal, spend time lounging around the gardens, take a surfboard out to practise new skills, or take a tuk tuk to one of the more populated villages - Hiriketeya, Tangalle and Unakurawa are favourites - and have look around. Hiriketeya is amazing for the backpacker vibe, shopping, cafes and restaurants, Tangalle is more of a local city - you can visit the local supermarket and buy some spices, tea or fruit and veggies, or see the beaches. Unakurawa is a quiet village that offers a cute little bay for swimming and some amazing cafes.
In the evenings you will be offered a range of activities, including a sound bath, restorative yoga, pranayama and meditation, or chill out doing your own thing.
On one of our retreat days, we will be driven out to Rekewa to take part in a guided kayak tour around Rekewa lagoon. You will have the opportunity to see an amazing array of birdlife, kayak down a secret river and have a picnic on another beautiful beach while we watch the sunset. Bonus is that there are no crocodiles in the lagoon!
A visit to the rock temple in Tangalle is a must, and we will head there together on another of our afternoons.
Return transfers are provided back to Colombo after the retreat, where you will be able to fly home or take advantage of some of the other adventures Sri Lanka has to offer.
THIS RETREAT IS FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO SURF AND DO YOGA
the accommodation
Accommodation options are single, double and twin share. Because of the room configurations, only one room has twin beds, the rest are queen or king beds.
If you are wanting to have your own room, please book the single.
First in for the twin share room gets the prize. If you are friends booking the retreat together, please consider opting for a double room, rather than twin share.
All other rooms are double, with one queen or king sized bed for sharing. Perfect for friends, couples or people who don't mind sharing with new friends (same gender) they haven't met yet!
